Abstract: The present invention utilizes the smooth continuous motion of a masking belt to concentrate air-entrained absorbent materials on the surface of a moving fibrous substrate. Air flowing through the open areas of the masking belt carries the entrained material into the fibrous web. The fibrous web acts as a filter to separate the entrained material from the air stream. Substantially all dispensed material is captured by the fibrous web, and expensive and complex absorbent material recycle systems can be eliminated.

Abstract: A slurry scraper system (1) has a carriage (16) to which is pivotally connected a pawl (40) at a floating pivot having slots (47) in the carriage and a pivot pin (46). The pawl (40) has an extension (44) which abuts against a stop pin (48) to prevent pivoting of the pawl (40) out of engagement with a drive dog (13) when an obstruction is encountered in one direction of travel. For example, on the forward sweep tripping may be prevented so that a large accumulation of slurry does not cause it to inadvertently trip. The pawl (40) will trip in the usual manner on the reverse sweep. The pawl (40) has a relatively sharp edge (43) and is acted upon by a torsion spring (50) so that it scrapes slurry from the rail as it engages a drive dog (13). This ensures that there is always effective engagement between the rail and the pawl. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A heater (12) for a catheter (10) used in monitoring constant cardiac output is fabricated using a bifilar wire (21) coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) like the material used for the catheter. The bifilar wire is coated with the PVC using a conventional extrusion technique, producing a coated lead (24, 32). This coated lead is wrapped around the exterior surface of the catheter, forming a helical coil. Heat is applied to the coated lead to melt the PVC coating, causing it to bond the lead to the catheter. The melted PVC also flows into gaps (23) or notches between adjacent coils of the lead, producing a relatively smooth outer surface for the heater coil when the PVC coating cools. The bifilar wire can alternatively be wrapped in-line with PVC tape (29) or film and the PVC material heated to flow around the wire, bonding it to the catheter's outer surface.

Date Jun. 5, 1997The method comprises the production of a first positive model of an item to be cast. The positive model is produced with a flange extending in an imaginary separation line of the item. The flange extends both inwardly in the item within an outer periphery of the item and outwardly outside the outer periphery of the item. The flange establishes an artificial increase of the thickness of the item. Through different intermediate steps at least a first mould part and a second mould part of a mould are produced. The first and the second mould part of the mould initially have a separation zone forming a contact surface between the first and the second mould part. The mould parts are treated in the separation zone so that the negative moulds of an upper and a lower surface of the part of the flange extending outside the item will subsequently form a contact surface of the first and the second mould part. The advantage of the method is a fast and easy production of moulds for complicated item geometries and different joint surface conditions as well as moulds having considerably better mould tolerances than known moulds produced traditionally, e.g. by means of stereo lithography.

Abstract: A drill bit (5) is engaged in the bore (13a) of a hollow shaft (9) and in the bore of a sealing cone (14) attached to said shaft (9). The rear end is clamped in a central hole (25) of a retaining member (24), which is itself pressed within the clamping means (4) and against a coupling part (3). This mounting allows the drill bit to be driven by the drill and the pressurised liquid to flow through the chamber (20), the radial passages of the shaft (9) and the annular space between the bore (13b) and the bit surface. The liquid thus flows through the thread of the bit, into the sealing cone (14) and into the hole drilled by the bit.
